Facial tattoo as a form of punishment

Here at the TAAB forum we have previously posted people with tattoos on their faces, these have been done voluntarily by the individuals involved. However, deliberate disfigurement of the face by another is a horrific act of violence which is often carried out in the context of domestic relatioships. In this case, a Chinese man deliberately disfigures his wife's face and leaves her with a tattoo that will humiliate her. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/14/chinese-man-tattoos-wife_n_849273.html
